Im making a stew.
Its got the lot in it, Pork, carrots, mushrooms, you name it, its in there.
I didnt include any long pig this time though because after that postman went missing last year there was a bit of a fuss, but my OH has just gone to collect the sproglet from school and is popping into the shop on her way back and I told her to get a loaf so we can mop op the gravy with it.

She looked at me as if I had just offered to peel the cat.

Shes done this before, she ...we HAVE bread, about one loaf each week and thats one of those monsters that are coated in poppy seeds and are designed to pop teeth and wreck fillings but all I want is a normal meduim sliced luwef so I can mop up my bloody gravy!

When I was a Sheffielder I used to go through a luwef each day, I used to have tuwest in the mornings, sarnies for din-dins, dip a few slices in whatever I had for tea and at the end of the night Id have muwer tuwest.

Down here in the Midlands it would appear to be different. Unless its just her of course who doesnt appreciate a good luwef but we very rarely see bread.

She buys "Cobs" (Breadcakes) occasionally for burgers or salad sarnies but never a normal loaf of cakey bread and when she DOES buy a loaf, its that... the seed infested one I mentioned earlier.

Tell me, poppets, is it just here in hell... I mean the midlands where bread is going out of fashion?
Or are you, my northern brethren still scoffing your daily bread like theres no tomorrow?

I miss a nice luwef, me.

My mother seems to think bread is some evil invention spawned by satan and is to be avoided at all cost 'cos carbs make you lardy :hihi:

I blame the atkins diet. Bread is not evil! Cutting out carbs only makes it worse if you ever need to look at one again.

Makes no difference what I cook the OH sticks it between 2 slices of Warburtons. Lasagne sarnies, Calzone butties, Roast dinner sarnies. If it's on his plate it's gonna get sarnied!

I still have a couple of bottles of Relish left over from my last trip to Sheffield and Im going to suggest she tries it in her stew...

Ill be told to bugger off again of course, but I HAVE to keep trying.

Mmmmmm cauliflower sandwiches were my favourite thing when I was a young 'un. They used to make your botty burps legendary!

I do think we have a secret bread eating lodger though 'cos we go through 3 loaves a week!

There are some very nice bakeries in the Mids. Are you shopping in the right place?

You thought of getting a bread maker to make your own luwef perhaps? nowt like making your own bread :D

i love bread it's wicked

Relish in stew, is there any other way to have it?

Did you used to always have a plate of bread and butter on the tea table? No matter what you were having? It took my dad years to realise he didn't need to stack up a load of shives if we were having a pizza for tea :D

It was handy when the dog sat there with drool hanging out of his chops watching you eat though - you could fob him off with a shive when what he really wanted was your spare chips ;)

Grandad used to eat six rounds of Sunblest with everything - he used it to mop up the swimming fat on his breakfast and to mop up the syrup when he had a whole can of peaches for his tea.

I always have bread in cause I lurve toast! And what's more it HAS to be thick sliced white bread - ultra-refined, cause brown bread gives me indigestion. I like that granary bread but it's far too expensive for toast!

EDIT - have you put some big quarters of baking apple on top of yer stew? It's lovely, when you do that with pork - and add cider to the sauce....MMMMMMMMMM

put it in the stew as its cooking. Im not that fond of relish but my other half loves it. Seems to go alright in a stew though so I put it in.

Relish in stew, is there any other way to have it?

Agree with that and i'm not from Sheffield, but have grown
to love it.
A good tip when cooking stew is to put some stuffing mix in. Thickens it up and gives great flavour!

Oh theres bread, its just that no one seems to be buying it.

My parents live in the Mids, they buy a lewuf everyday. They love bread, so do I :D

i'm sorry you have to have relish in stew, its just not right otherwise.

we eat lodes of bread of all different kinds, granery, brown, seaded batch but you cant beat a nice thick cut fresh slice of white bread. there are certain things that only white bread will do for like cheese & ham toasties, stew & a bacon sani. making a bacon sani with anyother bread other than white just aint right!!!

ithere are certain things that only white bread will do for like cheese & ham toasties, stew & a bacon sani. making a bacon sani with anyother bread other than white just aint right!!!

Your so right!! I prefer my bacon butties on white and my cheese and onion toasties on white too :D brown bread won't do

Lovely.

I have an... "understanding" with the young mummies at my kids school, they think Im an old fashioned, sexist dinosaur, and for fun, I try to reinforce that image as much as possible, it gets some great bites from them.

My OH went to pick the kid up and mentioned to her that "Daddys cooking dinner tonight" and every well formed lug oyle turned in her direction.

There was a deafening sound of cackling from these harridans and Jenny, who is a Colonels daughter and someone who Ive taken great pleasure in tormenting for the past three years has mentioned loudly that when I take the kid to school tomorrow, Im in for a rough time.

On my visit to Ireland in April I rediscovered the joys of Hovis with lots of Kerrygold,but I'm now off potatoes for life, ot a least till I drop at least 20 pounds.

She didnt bring a loaf back from the shops!!!!!!!


SHE DIDNT BRING A LUWEF BACK FROM THE SHOPS!!!

I want to marry this girl, so itll be more pleasurable when I divorce the cow-bag!

I only eat about 6 slices of bread a week, and they're the really thin sliced ones. I have to keep my bread in the freezer and defrost it as I want it or it will go off.

I very rarely have white bread anymore, I much prefer malted.

Bread is the food of the gods, to be eaten as often as possible! I'll send you a red cross parcel Jabbers!

stew is just crying out for relish and bread mmmmmm, must get round to making some soon:)

HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA I JUST CAUGHT HER PUTTING RELISH ON HER STEW! :D

I sneaked up behind her in the kitchen and there she was! Pouring it in!!! This is the girl who would NEVER sully her food by putting THAT garbage on it HAHAHAHAAAAA

She went for second helpings and as she left the room I said "Dont forget the relish"


heh

Say's alot for you stew if she'd rather taste the relish:hihi:

I just called her a "Closet Sheffielder"


Ohhhh the GLARE I got :D

Say's alot for you stew if she'd rather taste the relish:hihi:

She DID lay it on thick too.... Half the bloody bottles gone!

Heh.

The conversation just went:

ME: `Did you enjoy the stew, dear?`

OH: `Yes`

ME: `Did you "Relish" it, dear?`

OH ` Shut up`



heh heh heh Shes NEVER gonna live this down! :D

I love bread - white bread (but not awful, cheap, sliced chewing-gum consistency bread), brown bread, bread with seeds, love sunflower seed and honey, white bread with poppy seeds, or sesame seeds, or assorted seeds, tiger bread, hedgehog bread, crusty rolls, soft bread cakes, breadcakes with cheese on top.

At the moment I'm lusting desperately for a lettuce sandwich - I managed to remember to buy a lettuce, but I haven't got any plain, white, sliced bread or breadcakes - and I cannot have lettuce in anything other than plain white bread! Sainsbury's bread shelves were, of course, cleared of anything other than a couple of boring looking wholemeal sliced loaves.

Cheese and chutney, on the other hand, goes well on any sort of bread or roll, but I want a bloody lettuce sandwich. The swinish neighbours have gone away for the weekend, so he won't be baking and giving me any of his lovely fresh breadcakes, I'm proper miffed.

I'm gonna have to drag my carcass up to the shops tomorrow, just to get a white loaf, before the dratted lettuce goes off!

And I'd forgotten all about the lettuce sandwich until Mr Wocky started this thread - so, thanks a bunch, sunshine :rant::rant:

I love a nice bouncy white loaf. I have peanut butter on toast in a morning, I love cheesy beans on toast too. Eggy bread is to die for (Shame it upsets my tum)

Chips wouldn't be the same without some B&B, makes the butter melt into the bread mmmmmmmmm

I love the litle crunch the lettuce leaf makes as you bite through the bread and into it....


*Jabberwock legs it*

My ideal sarnie

Cheese, beetroot, cucumber, lettuce, salad cream and plain crisps, and either ham or roast chicken mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Its a monster and it makes a real mess but oh boy, so worth it

Makes no difference what I cook the OH sticks it between 2 slices of Warburtons. Lasagne sarnies, Calzone butties, Roast dinner sarnies. If it's on his plate it's gonna get sarnied!

I thought it was just my OH that did this!

His deepest darkest secret, that he thinks I don't know about, is Pot Noodle butties :gag:

Looks like you'll just have to drink the gravy straight off your plate then (close your ears mum) :o:hihi:

Just as well, I'm in the middle of clearing last year's fern growth, and sorting out the jasmine, so I've got the very sharp secateurs handy :hihi:

Ohhh I lurve Greggs extrabite bread <drool> lashings of yorkshire butter on it.

Stews best the next day with REAL fat chips that soak up the relish, and sarni's made with 'em and dipped in the stew yum yum

My OH is from essex, and he cant understand the need for bread or relish with stew, i've told him its a genetic trait for a yorkshire person!! ..............flippin philistine !! :)

Both my partner and I work in a bread factory! So a free loaf each day for both of us means we can actually feed half the neighbourhood as well. We don't get any choice - it's what ever is in the staff bread - but usually bring a grain loaf home. Or some white, extra thick, dripping with butter! Don't dip in casserole but I do in gravy. Mmmm :)

I love dippin bread in chilli mmmmm :love:

Must admit it's very rare I have bread - i don't eat sarnies at work. Bread is normally reserved for weekends or hangovers :)

I think you Sheffielders and we Irish have something in common. We love our bread too, and we'd definitely be dippers!

I've finally just chomped my lettuce sandwich :clap::clap:

I had a sort of one yesterday evening, but it was on a brown, seeded roll and just didn't taste right.

This afternoon I popped into Sainsbury's and bought myself a white, sliced loaf so I could have a proper lettuce sarnie.

It was bliss - the lettuce was mouth-wateringly crunchy and combined with the soft, white bread and butter into a truly delicious sandwich.

AWWWWWWWW!
Now I want to make ash/stew!:love::love:
